Unique Jewelry Handmade From Recycled Barcelona Glass
Hi, I’m Grete, the maker behind BGlassBCN!
Ever since I was a little girl, I've loved creating things. Drawing was my favorite, especially horses. They were my soul animal, and I must have filled sketchbooks with them. But I was just as fascinated by nature as I was by horses. I'd spend summers on the rocky Norwegian shores, flipping over stones to find crabs, or catching insects on a field, putting them in a jar just to watch them up close before setting them free. And when I wasn't outside exploring or drawing, I was glued to nature documentaries, completely mesmerized by the wild world.
Looking back, it's no surprise that I ended up doing something creative and connected to nature. With BGlassBCN, I take something discarded, old window glass from the city of Barcelona — and turn it into one-of-a-kind jewelry. It feels like I'm giving the glass a second life. Each piece is carefully crafted, hand-painted, and fused in a kiln, locking in its final design forever.
For me, making jewelry isn't just about aesthetics, it's also about telling a story. A piece of glass from an old Barcelona building, transformed into a necklace, carries history with it and it communicates. A ring inspired by the moon or or a flower speaks to someone's passions. My goal is to create pieces that feel personal and meaningful, little treasures that you can wear every day and that reflect your own unique journey.
So, if you love jewelry that's sustainable, handmade, and full of character, welcome! I'm so thrilled you're here!
Grete
